In addition to the roughly $100-200 for the lockset itself, I would expect from $50-100 range (depending on your local labor costs) by a locksmith, ASSUMING you get a lockset that uses the existing door and frame lockset holes - should only take about 15-30 minutes in that case.
Could run into maybe $100 more for a carpenter or the locksmith to fill and glue the existing holes and then drill new ones if lock does not fit the existing (probably "standard" hole spacing and setback - or maybe $200-300 more for carpenter to put in entirely new striker side trim and paint to match if you don't like the looks of the filled holes.

I called initially to have my large and heavy front door rebalanced to eliminate a gap at the bottom that allowed air to flow through.

was very friendly and professional in managing this task. I also wanted my exterior doors rekeyed, and

suggested an electronic keypad bolt lock for the front door. ...More It was a great idea. He did all the work quickly, everything works great and I no longer have to stuff a towel at the bottom of my door to keep the draft out.”

Called them on Sunday morning asking for an estimate for car lockout services. I provided the address and car make/model and was told the service charge was $19 + base labor of $35, possibly more depending on the situation. I agreed, because it sounded reasonable and was told the technician would call when he was on his way. I received a call <10min ...More later, and he arrived within 15min. However, once he arrived, he looked at the car (keys were visible in the seat) and said it would be $125. This was a shock, but given the time and situation I agreed. After signing the paperwork and I handed him cash, he said, it was actually $144 including the service charge. I gave him an additional $20, for which he didn't have any change. The job itself was performed quickly and appropriately in <2min. After he left, I received another phone call <10min again informing me the locksmith was on his way. I tried to explain they had already come, but he didn't seem to comprehend, stating he would be there in <10min and hung up.
All in all, they finished the job as promised, but the entire process felt like a scam.”

The technician that performed the service, Dorrant, was by far the most kind and professional service provider we have ever met! He arrived on time, sent text updates prior to his arrival, and was quick to listen and review our needs before providing high-quality service. The job was done quickly and well, and when we asked if we could have an extra ...More key, it was provided to us at no charge. Quality service with a smile! Highly recommended, and we will definitely use them again in the future for any lock/rekeying needs. ”

He was very nice. He showed up when he said he would and was pleasant during the visit. Also, he made extra keys for our co-workers so we didn't have to worry about getting them from somewhere else later. No surprise costs.
